His visits to European museums apparently inspired him to create his own collection. Pride in his American Indian heritage and interest in the history of the American West provided a focus for his collecting. - In 1914 Gilcrease purchased a house, constructed of native sandstone, located on what are now the Gilcrease Museum grounds. topics : european art |
